✨ I am looking for a new full-time job! ✨ As you may know, I’ve been working closely with Louise Fili as her Senior Designer and Associate, and more recently as a Partner at Tipofili. After nearly six years, I am looking for what’s next! matthewsmith.website/portfol…

What do I gotta do to redraw the NBA Finals script?

Louise Fili Ltd reunion dinner tonight, so I gotta hit y’all with a fit check.

My quality of life has absolutely sky rocketed since I bought a new pair of house shoes.

I genuinely do need to write about this because I was looking at an image and thinking to myself “I hate the way this font was drawn, I bet it is from [redacted]” And lo and behold it was.

Haven’t hit y’all with a fit check in a minute

Been meaning to share that about 2 months ago I joined Sylvain as design director ✨

Heard this from a prospective client this month: "The team won't sign off because they want a 1-to-1 example of work in our space." It's the most common objection in design hiring. It feels rational. It isn't. If you hire someone who's already done your thing, you'll get a version of what's already been done. That's not how you stand out. That's how you blend in. Good design transfers. Taste, judgement, and craft don't care what industry you're in. The teams that get the best work hire for taste. The teams that get safe work hire for category fit.

I made a font. Y’all can buy it. mattyow.gumroad.com/l/digera…

I recently saw two different demos where people were using the edges of the screen to compress content as you scrolled or navigated the canvas. One was vertical scrolling text, the other was images or rectangles on a canvas. Does this ring a bell? Can you link me? 😩

In my 6 years of working with Louise Fili, I don’t think we ever presented a moodboard.

Going to fuck with @mikesmith187 and start a studio called Smith & Fiction.

just watched this lady’s video where she argues that the language surrounding marketing roles is going through a rebrand/process of masculinisation in order to make them sound new/data driven and “serious” for men

*SEEKING SUMMER INTERN* I'm bringing on an intern this summer to work with me at the studio. Work on real pre-launch consumer products, and see the inner workings of a small design practice. Requires some IRL time in Berkeley, so likely a @UCBerkeley student. Apply below!

Upcoming serif for @tipofili is 🔥 Drawn in collaboration with Nick Misani 👀

I am convinced that no one at @TIDAL lives in NYC because this app is unusable on the subway.

Am I the only one that hates receiving email codes to login? I have a password manager, let me use it!
